That's a great idea. Wouldn't the bullets need sizing? I guess 'big' is what I'm going for in stretching the 9mm bullet weight to the max while still retaining adequate velocity. I 'theorized' that the bullet could get even heavier, but the 165 gr. are the closest thing available.

Oh, actually the bullets are RN. Yeah, it's gonna take some work, but I'm treating this like a long term project and 'curious minds want to know'.
